God's Timing

And while they were there, the time came for her delivery, And she gave birth to her Son, her Firstborn; and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for them in the inn. (Luke 2:6, 7 AMP)

The time came! Not perceptually- because the Savior came with a capital "S", but was nothing like superman. Weak and vulnerable He came.
Not logically- because the Savior came at a time when there isn't even room for one, but He came anyway because the world needs Him.

God's timing is not about the best explanation of why and how. The right timing shouldn't be sign or pursuit-based. It should be embraced-based!

My feelings are often unreliable (Rick Warren, 2014). The timing never seem right at Jesus's birth, but because Jesus came the time became right! Take Jesus out of the picture, and the entire nativity story becomes a hoax!

Obedience isn't about knowing God's plan and then doing accordingly; obedience is about knowing God and then do everything driven by a desire to please God. If we keep saying Christianity is a relationship then the way we relate should reflect that. God's plan is a means to please God, not a blueprint to robotically restrain people.

Today many don't live and work from freedom because of a perceptual imposing notion of "I'm not hearing God right". Fear seeps in, frustration seeps in, disillusion seeps in. Working in faith gets chained up with many "what ifs".
Paul wanted to go to Asia Minor, and it took an angelic interception to change his path; David proposed to build a temple for God. Two of the most inspiring figures in the bible had rooms to practice free will and "do what they want" instead of being always overwhelmed by a constant ponderous indecisiveness.

Am I saying that we shouldn't pray then? By no means, but like how David and Paul walked out their prayer lives, relate with God in every words we utter. In His Word, He told us to ask on many occasions so we should ask, but because we genuinely don't know. Otherwise, know God and love God, the rest should fall into place. 

Anyway, be very careful. I'm not sure how clear or how people might misinterpret it. I'm not advocating presumptions, and loving God and knowing God should not become excuses for impatience, laziness to pray etc. in fact, knowing God (fearing God) is the beginning of wisdom. If anything, those things should lead us to praying more, and desiring to know Him deeper!
